Ella Doljack

ELLA F. “Ellie” (ALVIDREZ) DOLJACK (nee  Burgin) age 85, beloved wife for 47 years of Joseph; loving mother of Terri Pressly (husband Donald), Dainan Alvidrez (former wife Kelly Ann Basoco) and Mace Alvidrez; devoted grandmother of Dainan  McNeil, Jeffrey Alvidrez, Samantha and Ashley Pressly; and great-grandmother; dearest sister of James Burgin (wife Ethel deceased), Ruby Burgin, and the late Bill  Burgin (wife Vakle), Wilbur (wife Sue Ann), Robert, Charles (wife Dolly), Joseph, Maryann and Sarah Burgin ; sister-in-law of Frank Doljack (wife Sharon), Linda and the late Matthew Plecnik and the late Mary Lou Doljack George; dear aunt and great-aunt of many.

Ella was born on August 9, 1936 and died peacefully on October 26, 2021. She was born in Jeffersontown Kentucky in a sharecropper’s cabin. She grew up in an orphanage, an experience that shaped her into a giving person who extended kindness to all.  Although she and Joe married 47 years ago, they have been together for 56 years. They lived in Mentor for the last 29 years and resided in Willowick prior to that.

She worked as an assembler for Libra Industries. She enjoyed traveling the world “cruising” with Joe and wintering in Florida. Ella also enjoyed old county music.

Ella was a considerate woman who was dedicated to her family. She never met a stranger.

She will be missed by all.

Contributions may be made in memory of Ella to The American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22478 Oklahoma City, OK 73123.
